Why apply a clearcoat?
Bodywork repair and coating involves three main phases:
- Preparing the surface to be painted ;
- The paint application phase ;
- The finishing phase.
The final finishing stage involves sanding to give a smooth finish and adding a clearcoat.
The clearcoat reinforces the solidity of the paint applied. It covers the paint, protecting it and extending its life. Generally colourless, clearcoats can be used with a hardener. With a clearcoat, you can also achieve the effect you want, either matt or gloss, depending on your requirements.
